After it happened to me, I started ignoring legitimate emails. If I got anything that looked possibly suspicious, I would call tech support to confirm whether it was fake or legitimate. I don't know how much time I wasted verifying emails but it was fairly time consuming.
But I have never clicked on a link in an email on my personal computer if I thought it might be suspicious.
